Sanctions didn't happen until after Russia invaded Ukraine.  Can you restate your feigned outrage?  

I forgot the word further. Deter Russia from invading further.

No I don't think that has anything to do with super rich. It is the top 1.8% of income earners though.    Also if you think the proposals to raise the taxes on people making that much are ex

He’s talking about officials saying the sanctions were used as a means of hopefully stopping them from doing a full on invasion and to halt them in Donbas. His leader hailed the maneuver as genius and deft and said they were peacekeepers.

Sounds like he's saying, or trying to say, that sanctions would need to be long term and not something short lived to be effective.  He did botch that answer up, likely because he took offense to the question.  No doubt there will be a lot of clarifying going on.

There’s no need for clarification. What he said was correct as were the people discussing the start of the invasion. Sanctions were used in hopes of stopping a full on invasion past the Donbas region. Biden was saying the long term goal is to isolate them and that those sanctions were never meant to stop the invasion in the first place and that Europe must unite around removing themselves from dependency on Russian oil and natural gas. 
 

Anyone who doesn’t understand that is either intentionally obtuse or an idiot.

"With regard to food shortage, yes we did talk about food shortages, and it's gonna be real," Biden said during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, following a meeting with other world leaders.  "The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia," he added. "It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well."

 

So sanctions did not deter Putin from invading past the Donbas region, but they will effect the EU and the US. This is Joe Biden's strategy?

 

Come on now. This guy is a fucking joke if he doesn't have a script written for him. God bless you if you still think he is competent.

He has to be trolling. Fucking idiot. Of course sanctions on Russia during a global inflationary period will effect costs on the countries imposing the sanctions. 


He chooses the path of looking like a dumbass often.  I think it's just something the GOP has accepted as game strategy.

Has Joe Biden really just lost it? He emphatically says that sanctions were NEVER meant to deter Russia from invading further, yet for the previous few weeks five or so of his high level officials said sanctions were meant to deter Russia. WTF?

 

 

I watched the speech yesterday dumdum.

 

He said sanctions are to inflict the most possible pain without joining a physical war.

 

Sanctions came after they did something. Cant be a deterrent.

 

The rest is just semantics. .. obviously.
